by an Express Train.

New York, July 21.-A gang OF
Italian laborers were at work ballast
ing on the Erie Railway on a sharp
curve, about three-fourths of y mile

limbs, pieces of ragged flesh being
scattered in all directions. Some
bodies were mangled beyond dS scrip-

SEATTLE, w. T., July 21.-The case
of Rumsey VS.. the Territory of Wash
ington on appeal was before the Su-
preme Court to-day. Rumsey was
one of the party who assaulted the
Chinese in Squaw Valley two years
ago, killing three, numbering two and
driving all the others away. After
several unsuccessful attempts to convict
him and others of murder they were
indicted for riot and Rumsey was
convicted. The principal point in his
appeal to the Supreme Court was the
incompetency of the female jurors and
involved the consideration OF a recent
decision declaring woman suffrage
act invalid. After the prosecuting attor-
ney had made his opening argument
the court unanimously held that no
reply was needed and declined to hear
from the opposing counsel. This
means that the former judgment will
be. adhered to and that women are
neither qualified electors nor jurors in
this Territory.

AN ADVERSE UPfNI0N.*
What the Land Commissions
Thinks About a h ailr0ad Claim.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Com
missioner of the General Land Office
has completed the adjustment grant
to the State Of Kansas for the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroad Company
under the acts of Congress of Ma. ch
6, 1868, and July rs, 1856. The Com
missioner finds that the company is
not entitled to indemnity for losses
within its granted limits by reason of
prior grants and reservation TO the
United States by competent authority,
for the purpose Of aiding in any OBJ
ject of internal improvement or other
purpose whatever. On this basis the
Commissioner finds that an excess of
293, ,431 acres over the amount legally
due has been certified and patented
for the benefit of the road. The COM
pany claims indemnity for all losses
within its granted limits, no matter
how occasioned, and should this claim
be allowed, the company would still
bc entitled to 504 ,042 acres. The Com
missioner recommends that suit be
instituted b., the government to re-
cover the excess as found by him.
Should this decision be sustained, it
will control in adjustment all grants
of like character.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, July 21.-
Fuller particulars have reached this
city from Socorro in regard to two men
being blown into eternity by prema-
ture blast at the stone quarry of Har-
ley & Larkins. From an employe at
the quarry the following account was
obtained: ID. Solare, the quarry fore
man, assisted by Fred Miller and two
Mexicans had drilled an eighteen-foot
hole and charged it with two kegs of
black powder. Mr.. Solare then took
a stick of giant powder, attached a
cap and fuse and dropped it down the
hole. 1t lodged when part way down,
and Solare thereupon grasped long
rod of pipe and ordered Callitano Rod
riguez to hold it while he with rock
pounded the giant powder and cap to
the bottom. AS soon as Miller under
stood his intention he and the other
McXlcdIl SttlTteu 10 run, anu nOIle 100
soon, as they had hardly passed a
point of safety when
THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED.
Hastily returning to the scene they
commenced searching for their friends,
and found Solare about fifty feet from
the hole. The iron rod with which
he was knocking the powder had en-
tered his neck and passed out through
his mouth, and his body was shattered
and burned into an unrecognizable
mass. He was removed to the cabin,
where he lived until o'clock. The
Mexican, Rodriguez, was found in an
other direction about thirty feet from
the hole. He was also terribly pow
der burned, his right hand blown off
and both eyes destroyed, and the
amputation of his right arm is his only
chance of recovery. The foreman, to
whose carelessness the accident is due,
had been connected with quarries for
the past ten years, and thoroughly un-
derstood his business.
